You will find all the grace of classic English country living here in this wonderfully elegant and spacious 371 square metre double brick and steel frame luxury residence on almost 2 acres of superbly landscaped grounds in sought after Bateke Road. Impressive electronic entry gates give access via a brick edged bitumen driveway that comes up the north-east boundary to the rear of the grand home set high above the street and very well back from the Bateke Road frontage. It is almost as well set back from its white picket fenced 62.8 metre frontage to little known and rarely driven, Young Street too. Wide open lawns, countless beautiful ornamental trees, shrubs and close-in gardens define the the sense of traditional country living that encompasses this beautiful home.

This is a home designed for the lifestyle of its owners who developed a great longing to put down roots on Tamborine Mountain after years of international roaming where ever commercial activity took them. Entertaining has always been a large part of their hectic lifestyle, and this home is an entertainers' dream right from the huge Mahogany & Rose Granite kitchen to the wonderful lounge room that allows for multiple conversation areas as guests gather in smaller groups to discuss matters of the day.

Everything about "Melford House" bespeaks quality from the wonderful main entry door with its gorgeous blue wren leadlight glass insets in the side panels and the artfully tiled entry foyer floor right through to the fully tiled double garage under the rear of the corner of the house. In between, you see all those big solid timber colonial bar double hung windows and matching French doors, the highest quality tiling and the superb drapes that add that elegant country icing to this grand home. The carpets are top quality, and there is a strip of tiling under every window where the sun might peak below the drapes and fade the carpet. There are ceiling roses in place and ample quality period lighting to create the most formal situation you could ever desire. Quite simply, the finishing here is worthy of the very best you could hope to find.

Yet living is not all formal these days and the family lounge room has all those qualities for relaxation while still retaining its country charm Just open those French doors wide to the back terrace and you can have a great big indoor / outdoor party flowing right through to the kitchen where all the food is prepared and arranged for relaxing with friends on a summer's evening. The northerly tiled front verandah is one of the most protected parts of the home and is ideally positioned for cooler weather entertaining with relaxed luncheons and day time BBQs. It must be so tempting to just spill out from the covered area, collapse on the lawn and take in the sun while sipping a glass of bubbly.

And without more ado, let me simply say that the master suite has surely been designed to soothe and relax the most world weary globe trotters in manner that only the lucky few will ever get to enjoy!
